This week was the beginning of school, and my goodness. It was wonderful, but so stressful. I think I'm going to like it here. I have no idea what I'm going to study, and that's ok by me. I decided to drop my Music class, and enroll in my Theatre class. I'm not going to lie--best decision EVER!
Today was my first day and I learned more in this first day than in the last two days of my Music class, and we actually did...stuff, and my professor is amazing. He has so much energy and he really loves the craft. I think I'm going to like it--hopefully. He really reminded me of how much I love theater, and he actually reminds me a lot of Mr. Anderson. *tee hee.
I'm really weighing whether I should become a Theatre major. I either want to declare that or Communications. Still not sure. Hoping I can figure out. Then again, I may find something else that is interesting and go with that.
Today was a good day. :) A really good day. A really grateful day.
I think I should post A You Tube Video...This is the song we listened
in Theater. It seemed to fit then, and it still seems to fit now. Here we go...

Dear Oprah
Dear Oprah,
You are wonderful. You make me feel as if I can do anything. You are so thrilling to me. Your story and your life has become my muse and filled me with purpose. The fact that you are where you are inspires me to just live my life, and that even I; I who am a nobody can become somebody magnificent. Oprah, I will admit that I was a little hurt when I discovered you would be leaving me, forever, but I have come to terms with this, and I am genuinely happy for you. I think I realize now why you are doing this. It is time for change. I have learned this lately, moving from recent adolescent studies to the more sophisticated world of college. In a weird way it's sort of thrilling all this..."change." Perhaps, you enjoy the thrill. Yet, also I realize that now I was just ready for change, and perhaps that is your case also. Either way Oprah, know that you have changed my life, and I think and will never forget you for it. You rock!
Love Always,
Nathan Rust.

Which One?
Dearest Ex-Crush:
I just got over you last night when I finally came to my senses. You are a beautiful human being. You are funny. You are kind. You are most definitely eccentric, and I would love to be with you, but the world calls me for bigger things. Things you'd rather not be a part of, and that's fine, but don't hold me back. I love you, so much, but now I can't say that, because just admitting that means that there is still something there. I hope your life brings you happiness. I hope you find everything you've been searching for, and if not, I hope you hear me in the back of your head saying, "I told you so." Fare thee well my ex obsession, actually no. This is good-bye. Forever. Thank you. Thank you for letting me be me with you, and showing me that sometimes a crush; is just a crush. <3
No longer yours,
Nathan

We are all created Equal.
Dear Stranger,
You seemed to me to be ugly, grotesque, shallow, and cold. To me you were nothing, and for that I am truly sorry. I remember when I first met you at the stop light at the end of the road. My mother gathered her purse and poured change into my hand. She rolled down the window as I became frightened to make contact with you. Yet, you did not shudder at my ignorance. Instead you embraced me, as an equal and the least I could have done was the same. You told me, "God should bless me," for the change my mama gave to you, but the truth is stranger; God shall bless you, because you have already blessed me. I met you again, when you begged for more change. This time your Angel was my guardian. A woman who is so much better than I. A woman who offered you food from her own plate. Your grace, and your gratitude radiated from your eyes. I wept. I have changed. Now, we are friends. Dear, stranger, I hope I meet you soon, and this time I will save you. On my own. Alone. Proud and unmoved. I will save you, because you have saved me. We are equal in every way. May God bless you as you have blessed me.
With Love,
Nathan.

Day Dreams. Real Dreams. All Around Me. Dreams.
Dear Dreams,
All I ever wanted for you was that you would become true. That all those miniscule thoughts I created in my head would become real, extravagent, tangible auras of life. Although you did not come true. What I got instead was twenty times better. But I must thank you, because although you did not become reality, you still kept me going. You make me the person I am today. Ever since I imagined being President, to now, I have no idea who or what I want to be, but that's ok, because you have given me options. You have shown me that dreaming is only the beginning. Dreams, I hope you weren't planning on going anywhere, because I have big plans for us, and have decided that I'm going to be keeping you around for a great while. The best dream you've given me? Well, the one where I'm rich and famous, and sing for thousands upon thousands at Madison Square Garden. Although it hasn't come true yet, my fingers are still crossed. Another one was one with Ryan Seacrest coming to my beckon in Elementary School (bahhahaha good times). Then, of course there are the ones where I fall in love with some pretty fantastic people. :) Thank you dreams, for inspiring me to continue to smile. See you soon.
Love always,
Nathan

May I skip this one?
Hmph! My siblings? Well, my siblings are, well, crazy??!! But I still like 'em to an extent. Oh! Wait this is suppose to be a letter. Hold up, homies. Let me start again. ;)
Dear Sibling(s):
You are quite obnoxious, nosy, close-minded, yet you make me laugh. You make me smile, and you remind me each and every day that we are family. You worry me; in more ways than one. When you run off in the middle of the day and I have no idea where you are. When you leave for an extended period of time and I have no idea what you're doing. I guess, you could say I'm lost without you. Although I do have to say when you do leave, it's nice to have some time alone. I guess really what I want to say is thank you. Thank you for never leaving me drown as an only child, yet thank you for that envy, also.
That is all,
Nathan
